When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

"You are not as good as A Leng!"

Qin Lingruo put down the cup and put away the painting album, "Okay, I'll put it away, everyone turn around."

Xu Xinyue and Xia Xueyao then tentatively turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the painting album was no longer in front of them.

"When Ah Leng saw it, his expression remained unchanged."

Xu Xianyue subconsciously asked, "Who is Ah Leng?"

Qin Lingruo sat back on the bed, "It's the kid that Lu Yuan saved last time, Qin Leng! Since I saved him, I will save him to the end.

I wanted him to live in my Qingling Palace's side hall to take care of her, but he refused to do so. I had no choice but to send him some food, supplements, books, etc. from time to time."

Xu Xinyue suddenly realized: "So that's it."

"Yes, don't be fooled by his skinny appearance. He is actually only two years younger than me. Life in the cold palace is really hard. These few years are the key years. If I don't nourish him well, I'm afraid he will never grow taller.

I think he has been taking good care of himself recently, he seems to have grown taller and gained a lot of weight."

Xia Xueyao asked: "Is your relationship already so good?"

"I guess so. I have always taken care of him as my younger brother. He is sometimes very attentive and always makes me happy with the little things. This is something that other brothers and sisters in the palace have never had.

This kid is quite knowledgeable, and the food he fed me was not in vain."

"You just said that he looked calm after seeing this. Are you showing him this?"

"Um... well, this is all a misunderstanding. He came to me to return the book that day, but I forgot to put it away, and he -"

Qingling Hall suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

Finally, Qin Ruoling took the initiative to break the deadlock: "Well, let him watch it. Anyway, he is old enough, and with his current status, it is impossible for him to have a maid or something. Just treat it as, just treat it as letting him understand things... After all, he is still a prince, even if he is a little down and out."

Xu Xinyue and Xia Xueyao didn't know what to say.

"Oh, let's not talk about me. How are Yueyue and the third brother doing recently? I know Yaoyao very well. She must have gone out to play with the second brother many times."

Xia Xueyao said shyly: "How did you know that?

"He never eats dim sum, always saying it's too sweet, but a few times he brought me Nuo Xiang Fang's signature dim sum. If it wasn't his initiative, then he was accompanying someone~"

"Ah, is it that obvious?"

"So Yueyue, have you been okay lately?"

Xu Xinyue smiled mysteriously: "Maybe you will know tonight."

"Tonight?? That's not—"

At this moment, a young man called out softly from outside the door: "Royal sister, are you there? It's time to go to the Queen's Palace. Don't miss the time. Royal sister?"

Xu Xinyue and Xia Xueyao turned to look at Qin Lingruo.

"So, I said, it won't be delayed... Well, didn't someone come to remind you?"

The person outside the door saw that no one responded for a long time and thought that she was not in the hall. Just as he was about to leave, Qin Lingruo opened the door.

"Ah Leng."

Xu Xinyue looked at him and found that he was indeed a lot fatter than the last time they met, and seemed to be whiter, no longer looking pitiful with a pale face and skinny body. Although his clothes were not luxurious, they were decent and clean. It seemed that Qin Lingruo had really helped him a lot and put in a lot of thought.

"Imperial sister, you are in the palace. I am worried that you will miss the birthday banquet today, so I just want to remind you. There is nothing else."

Qin Leng lowered his head, not daring to look up at her, unable to see what his expression was now: "Royal sister closed the door and the window again, is she reading those indecent books again..."

"Cough! Cough!" Qin Ling, whose heart was touched, coughed a few times. "No, it's just that Yaoyao and Yueyue are here too. Let's talk about personal matters."

Qin Leng was half-believing and half-doubting until he saw Xu Xinyue and Xia Xueyao appear behind him. Then he nodded seriously, "If that's the case, it's better to go to Fengluan Palace, sister."

Qin Leng bowed respectfully to Xu Xinyue and Xia Xueyao.

"I haven't had time to thank you two ladies for what happened last time. Qin Leng will never forget it."

"Nothing, nothing, you don't have to take it to heart."

Qin Leng’s current identity is awkward. Although he is a “prince”, except for Qin Lingruo, no one is willing to acknowledge his identity, and he is not qualified to attend the birthday banquet.

He stood there motionless, his pupils hidden by his long eyelashes were as dark as ink, his emotions unpredictable, and he watched the three people leave.

The timing was perfect, and when the three of them arrived, they happened to enter the Fengluan Palace together with the noble ladies.

After all, Qin Lingruo was the only princess in the palace. She didn't have to come to pay her respects to the queen like other noble ladies. However, since she was entrusted with important responsibilities by her two royal brothers, she had no choice but to join in the fun.

The queen is over forty years old, but because she has taken good care of herself, she looks only about thirty years old. She wears a gorgeous phoenix robe and a dazzling phoenix crown on her head. She is graceful and has an extraordinary aura, with an air of majesty that comes from the royal family.

With a smile, he glanced at the noble ladies kneeling below. His sight paused slightly when it passed Qin Lingruo's side. He looked at the girl next to her who was wearing a gorgeous dress made of dark red color for a moment, then withdrew his gaze without making a sound.

The queen found her face unfamiliar and had a rough guess about her identity.

I guess that was Prince Rong asking for permission to marry Princess Rong.

I heard He Yunyin, who was beside the Empress Dowager, once mention that this person was just the daughter of a powerless merchant.

If Qin Yuechuan married her as his princess, it would be like cutting off one of his arms.

Who's wife is not the daughter of an important official? It's true that beauty can mislead people!

However, she was happy to see it happen. She heard that the Queen Mother was going to give Qin Yuechuan a concubine as a concubine. In the huge backyard of Prince Rong's mansion, there was not a single powerful person from the maternal family. This would be fun to watch.

With the mentality of watching a good show, she just recognized Xu Xinyue's face.

Since coming out of Fengluan Palace, Qin Yuechuan didn't know how long he had been waiting outside the palace.

He usually wears various kinds of tight clothes, even the crown, which are either black, dark, or navy blue, all of which are dark colors without exception.

So much so that when he was standing outside the Fengluan Palace today, dressed in a simple and elegant outfit, everyone was unable to react for a moment. Is this - Prince Rong?

With a smile on his face, he walked steadily in full view of everyone and pulled Xu Xinyue out from the crowd. The ladies were surprised to find that, except for the different styles of their clothes, the colors and materials were exactly the same.

"Who is this woman? I have rarely seen her. She is walking side by side with Prince Rong."

"I'm not sure, which noble lady she is from. Judging from her demeanor, she shouldn't be from a humble family."

"Could he be of a very noble status? Otherwise, how come none of you have known him? Otherwise, how could he be favored by King Rong, and why would he withdraw..." A certain noble lady blurted out without restraint and was poked on the arm by someone. She signaled with her eyes that Xu Mingxi was present and it was inconvenient to say it outside.

Now she is the Princess of Qi, and we cannot afford to offend her.

Amid the discussions, an extremely discordant and sharp voice rang out:

"Hey, she is not some extremely noble lady. The reason why you don't know her is because she was not qualified to enter the palace in the past."

"What? Could it be that she is the daughter of a minor official and doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the palace?"

"No, she is not the daughter of a minor official, but the daughter of a merchant. Even the daughter of a merchant who used to be in the third house of the Xu Mansion is not even a minor official of the seventh rank. How can you, my dear ladies, meet her?"

The people who spoke were not others, but He Yunyin and others who were good friends with Xu Mingxi.

"Is that so? A merchant's daughter, isn't that an insult to King Rong?"

"Moreover, she has already left the Xu Mansion and declared that she has no connection with the Xu Mansion anymore. How dare a nameless, powerless, and commoner girl dream of marrying Prince Rong."

……

At this time, Xu Xinyue and Qin Yuechuan had already arrived at the gate of the Empress Dowager's Shou'an Palace. Just as they were about to step forward, a pretentious female voice came from behind them: "Your Highness Prince Rong!"

The person who came was Zhou Luer.

Qin Yuechuan frowned and turned his head, and saw a woman in a lake blue gold brocade skirt. She raised her eyes shyly and bowed to him with spring in her eyes: "What a coincidence, Your Highness is also here with the Queen Mother."

Qin Yuechuan and Xu Xinyue looked at each other and completely ignored her. They continued to walk towards the Empress Dowager Shou'an Palace without saying a word.

Zhou Luer was still thinking that since she met Qin Yuechuan here, she might as well take the opportunity to chat with him. When the empress dowager mentioned "that thing" later, it would be much more logical. She looked up and was about to say the second sentence, but there was no one in front of her, and where were the figures of Xu Xinyue and Qin Yuechuan?
